OBlTU AIRY.

Miss Myrtle Drown, daughter of Mr.. H. Il.
and Mrs. Nellie Drown, died at the family
residence, 739 South Market, at one p. m,
July 10, 1887.
Her health had not been good for a year
past, but the immediate cause of her death
was typho-malarial fever, which attacked
her about the 9th of July. She passed away
quite suddenly, and her friends were very
hopeful of her recovery until within a few
hours of her death.
She was born in Green Spring, Seneca Co.,
OHIO, Sept. 9th, 1867. and consequently had
not reached her twentieth birthday. She
was member of the Senior Glass of the
Green Spring academy, from which she
would have graduated this spring had not
her failing health interrupted her studies,
which was a great trial to her, as she was an
untiring and ambitious student. She was
an earnest Christian Of hopeful disposition,
even more intent on cheering and encourag
ing others than on sparing herself.
| Since coming to Wichita in January last
| she has been a faithful attendant on the
| Presbyterian church and Sabbath school.
She was member of the young ladies Bible
class, in wqich her intelligent interest in the
lesson and her bright, unassuming manner,
had endeared her to the teacher and other
members of the class.
| Owing to the suddenness of her death no
expression was obtained. from her as to where
she would be buried, but her parents decided
that she would be pleased to have them lay
her away at her former home, Green Spring,
| Ohio among her old schoolmates and friends.
And this morning, after brief service at the
house, they started on their sad journey to
| that place
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose
again, even as them also which sleep in Jesus
will God bring with Him."
| July 90, 1887.

THE BURTON CAR WORKS.

Another day was faithfully put in yester-
day by the representatives of the Burton
car works and by the board of trades COM
mittee. The matters of track facilities and
drainage were more particularly considered
and weighed, as also of water supply. The
west side was visited in the afternoon, and
the water supply of the ice plant examined.
That factorys supply is taken directly from
driven pipes, and the flow would supply a
city of five or eight thousand people. There
will be no trouble encountered either as to
drainage or water supply. To exhaust a
the Arkansas river and all the underfiow of
the valley would have to be taken up. :
The city has been pretty well gone over
in the past ten days, and the gentlemen rep
resenting the car company while returning
from the west side last evening, acknowl
edged that had not yet comprehended
or could not understand how such city of
such proportions and undeniable great inter
ests had been built in so short time. Where
hundreds Of roofs of fine houses glitter in the
sun on the west side, one short year ago there
was hardly house to be seen.
But these gentlemen are not through with
Wichita yet. Mr. Merrill returns to Kansas
City, but Messrs Perkins and Barber remain.
The directors Of the board of trade will be
called together this afternoon or tomorrow
In the meantime there has been no bitches or
misunderstanding Of any character.

STOCK.

Several days ago in response to call near
half dozen bids were given the school board
for erecting the school building Wichita has
been much contemplating for some months
On two occasions since the bids have been
sent in the board has tried to hold NEE ing
for opening the bids and awarding the con-
tract. Both attempts have resulted in fail
ing to gain quorum and hence the contract
has not been awarded.
A number of the board was heard yester.
day speaking OF the state of affairs and
thought it very important that the contract
should be awarded so work could be com
menced and building completed, if possible,
by the beginning of the next school year. he
thought the indications for getting the board
TO award the contract rather unfavorable and
feared the contract for erecting the building
would not be awarded until next fall about
the the time il would be nee dsd.

THE COURTs.
POLICE COURT.

Philip Golf was q drunken man whom
Officer Antrim found on East Douglas. The
man was in a state of beastly intoxication
and became very boistrous and unruly when
attempted to be arrested. He was at las,
hauled to the city prison in dray. Judge
Dixon committed him to the cooler for the
offense
William Davis was a worthless vag who
spent most Of his time lettering around
gambling houses. he was fined $50 and
costs which he paid, and it Is thought he will
leave the city for tn city's good.
Frank Dewire was a laborer who fell into
the hands of the ungodly, and afterwards
pulled up in the police court. He paid part
Of his fine and promised to go to work and
earn the remainder.
The case of the city VS. Valentine Earhart
which had been postponed from the pre-
ceding day, was brought up yesterday morn
ing. Judge Dixon, however, considered the
question to which it gave rise cut of his
jurisdiction, and so turned it over to Justice
Walker

IN NEMORIAM.

1t is with pain that we announce the death
of one of our EAGLE boys, John Conklm,
who passed away yesterday afternoon. John
was a universal favorite among the entire
force of this office. He was always ready to
do his duty. We never heard complaint
from him; we always found him the same
quiet, modest John in all the days and months
he has been with u.s. He was just on the
threshold of manhood at the point Of his life
where the loving mother had begun to look
to and lean upon her boy. He was man, a
model of physical strength and endurance,
and the one we least expected to be stricken
down among all our force Of sixty people.
This is the first death that has occurred
am ong the attaches of this office since its
establishment, we believe. There are many
Borrowing hearts in it today which 60
out in sympathy to the bereaved and
mourning family. No more will his watch
ful eye look upon the revolving midnight
press, no more his ear be disturbed by its
restless clank of cog and pinion, while others
sleep. Notwithstanding the hour IL one
when words of sympathy count for little In
healing the wounds, and in binding up the
broken hearts of loving mother and proud
father who stand dumb in the presence OF
such calamity, we cannot forbear saying to
them that when the shadows Of eternity lift
their sable curtains from the golden portals
and death has opened its arms and whispered
peace to them, that they shall clasp their
faithful John to their arms again.
Full short his journey was; no dust
or earth unto his san ials clave;
The weary weight that old men must,
He bore not to the grave.

BASS BALL.
Wichita May Possibly 60 into the Western
League.

Mr.. VIM. McClintock. manager of the Den
yer Base Ball club, was in the city yesterday
as delegate from the Western League exc
cutive committee in session at Kansas City
to see if the Wichita Base Ball club would
not go into the Western League. He met
the directors yesterday afternoon and after
discussing matters at length it was decided
to call a meeting Of the stockholders at the
Board of Trade rooms this evening at eight
o'clock to determine whether or not they will
remain in the Kansas State League or 60 in
to the Western League.
On the State League they pay visiting
clubs forty dollars for each game
and receive forty dollars for
each game played away from home.
In the westeren league they are offered
Leavenworth's schedule, and are permitted
to start in with clean percentage, and will
be entitled, at the close of the season, to such
percent and position in the race as they may
earn. The visiting clubs, according to the
proposition of the league board, are to re-
ceive one hundred dollars for each game
here, and the Wichitas will be paid sixty
five dollars for each game away from home.
A full attendance at the meeting tonight is
requested by the directors, when statement
of the clubs affairs will be presented to the
stockholders Notices are out for the same.

BIG INTERESTS.
wichita as a Great Manufacturing City.

With our direct railway lines to the new
coal fields south, and to the Arkansas and
Texas timber regions, and our proximity to
the coke ovens of southeastern Colorado, of
course Wichita is going to be great manu-
featuring city as well as great commercial
city. Besides the several manufac uring in
terests already secured there is the watch
factory, the pillow factory, the barbed wire
factory, the Burton car works, the evaporat-
ing and canning factory and the starch
works, all in the most hopeful state of pro
gress and naturalization. Wichita will not
only be full Of opportunities for healthful
and profitable employment for
experts, but will be full of
such corporations whose stockholders will
be largely Wichita men. Wealthy corpora
lions, successful and profitable factories,
mean plenty of work at remunerative prices.
plenty of trade at living profits, plenty of
money in circulation and big markets for all
all the produce of southwest Kansas. Some
morning ere long the people of Kansas will
wake up to read the manufacturing statistics
of Wichita in such wonderful figures as will
make their eyes stick out with establishment
at how and when it was all brought about.
Let the good work go on. There is money
schemes and prosperity for the city.

TIRE SANTA FE'S CHANCE.

The Santa. Fe would find it a paying opera
ton, or one that would soon develop good
dividends, to put on train from Wichita to
the terminus of their MulvaDe extension, or
reverse the order and run daily train from
the end of the Mulvane extension to Wichita
and return daily. The entire line traverses
a country which will as inevitably be tribu-
tary to Wichita as that the Kaw valley is
tributary to Kansas City. They will find
the people on the entire line, and as far west
as Englewood, not only DESTROYS of such a
train, but that they would hail its inaugura-
tion with pleasure, and the suggestion is ear
nestly urged upon the thoughtful considera
ton of the management of that great line
la addition such train, daily train, from
some point west on the main line, say from
Kinsley, Larned or Dodge would soon devel
OF into paying nice margins over operating
expenses. .

DEAD MONKEY.

Yesterday morning the men exca ating
for the Rock Island passenger depot found
at de pth of three feet small box. The
same was broken open and a smell issued
forth which made it very unpleasant in that
neighborhood. Coroner J. ". Vineyard was
summoned and took charge of the box aud
It's contents The remains had reached such
an advanced state of decomposition that IT
was difficult TO tell what it had been, and
some claimed that it had been child and
that opinion prevailed until Bill Richey ap
peared and pried its mouth open with a cane
and discovered tushes an inch long. This
seemed TO knock the baby theory and pro-
cess of devolution decided. that it had been a
monky. An investigation showed that Geo.
Smith some months ago had buried his pet
Asiatic monkey in that vicirity with due
ceremony. and hence the chance for social
scandal seems to be nipped in the bud

IMPORTANT LAND CASE.

The case of the United States VS. Simpson
ct al involving number of quarter sections
of land in Harper county is now being tried
before United States land commissioner.
Twenty or thirty witnesses are up from
Harper and great deal Of interest is being
manifested over the case. The land in dis
pute is quite valuable. 1t goes to the ques-
ton of the right of the commissioner of the
general land Office to cancel entries made
upon Usage Indian Trust lands. 1t will
probably settle the question of the right of
the commissioner to cancel entries upon these
lands. Special Agent Richardson and Judge
Lock are on the prosecution and b. s. Rug
giles and A. n Cherry, of Anthony, defend
ants for entrymen. The case will probably
last some days.

anthropist, Mr.. Timothy Coop, who previous
to his death did so much by his wise coun-

however, that the work had begun, but such
is the fact The excavations.for the church,

MURDERER RUN DOWN.
Jack Trew, the Colored Murderer. Caught at
Kansas City Last Night.

Jack Trew, the Colored Murderer, Caught a
Kansas City Last Night.
The horrible murder committed on the
Little river in this city on Last Saturday
evening. an account of which was given il
Sundays EAGLE, has caused considerable
comment. Everything went to show that an
unfortunate colored man had been murdered
in cold blood for his money. The
murder seemed to be wrapped in mys
tery. and every attempt to get TRACK
of the murderer seemed futile The case
however, was put into the hands OF Deputy
Sheriff Brown, by Sheriff Hays, with In
struc ions 70 hunt for clues, and when OBJ
tanned to follow them up. Deputy Brown
worked Oh the theory that the colored man
who was seen in the neighborhood of the
brick yard about the time the murder was
committed, was the guilty party.
There is colored man living in this city
who suits the description given of the mar
seen near the brick yard at the time referred
to. and some of the officers tried hard to get
Deputy Brown to arrest him. This he re
fused to do and claimed that colorei man
had passed through Sedgwick City
the morning after the murder
walking rapidly, and that ne
was in all probability the murderer. This
trail was followed until Brown became con-
WINGED the man seen at Sedgwick was the
real murderer, and whose name is Jack
Trew. He came here from Kansas City
about three weeks ago and is a butcher by
trade. Sheriff Hayse came from the south
night before last and his faithful
deputy met him at the depot.
and related the evidence he had collected
against the negro Jack Trew. Sheriff Hays
bounded back onto the train and at O'Clock
last night Deputy Brown received the fol
lowing dispatch from Sheriff Hays at Kan
sas City: 81 have got Trew; will be at home
tomorrow night; meet me at train" MIR.
Brown requests us not to publish
the circumstantial evidence which ne has
secured and which he related, but this much
can be said without betraying confidence,
that Jack Trew will be confronted by net
work of evidence from which he viii not be
able to escape. He will be traced to the
place of the murder and back into this city
and then to Kansas City, and all the time
trailed by faithful Deputy Brown like a
blood-h hound that never leaves a trail. And
in every turn this man has left marks and
tracks uncovered that will close around him
when he is confronted by the law and its
officers. Two much credit can not be given
the Deputy Sheriff Brown and our faithful
coroner, Wingard. The coroner has been
ever ready to do his part in bring
ing to Justice violators OF law.
The negro Jack Trew, it is said by col
ored man in this city who has known him
for years, to be desperate character, and
he did not believe Sheriff Hays could cap
ture and bring him back to Wichita. He
will be given fair trial here, and if he is not
guilty he will go clear. If he is innocent it
will be pity, for our officers will confront
him with some testimony that would natur-
ally be very annoying to an innocent man.

AGAME OF FREEZEOUT.

As is known the congregation Of the First
Presby terrain church have decided to erect a
fine church building on the southeast corner
of Topeka avenue and Third street. Some
days ago petition was set in circulation
asking that the fire limits be extended so as
to include the section adjoining the new
church SITE This was done hoping to pro-
tect that section from inferior buildings.
Mr. Jones owns fifty feet adjoining the new
church site on the south. 1t seems he did
not think church building would advance
the value of his property and made an effort
to sell to some parties who, it seems were
instrumental in securing the church site at
that point, but failed. When the fire
limit" petition was being circulated he took
out permit allowing him to erect on his
lots a livery stable it seems that he intends
to put up frame livery barn, commencing
work at an early date.
